Anyone interested in cutting metals with a Co2 lasermay want to do more research; this link may help answer many questions:...

Ernie,

The castcnc is a spinoff from the original Joe's 4x4 hybid. The castcnc replaced the MDF carriages in Joe's hybrid build with cast aluminum parts, it increased the stiffness in the machine...

Mike,
I know you use the modbus protocol for your spindle speedcontrol, however, unless I'm missing something here I can't see any benefitover an analog signal in this application. The modbus...

Ken,

A little expensive but I feel worth it just to have control and vissual readings right next to me during setup. $250.00 pendent + $15.00 shipping, US funds.

Dave

Bryan,

I'm not sure how your machine is wired, or the make and model of the break out board, CAMaster should be able to help with that part. In the mean time you should check all ground...

Mike,

I believe it's just a keyboard emulator & serial interface (for DRO data) connected through a USB port. More info at website: http://cncpendant.ru/en/shuttlerustm32.html

I came across this on the cnczone, this pendent comes from Russia. I placed my order in mid April, (no money required up front until product ships) Andrey, builds each pendent himself. The quality...

Thought I would share my rebuilt controller with everyone. It's a bit busy, but I like visual dianostics as much as possible. Using Mach3 as the control software, I have full control of my router...

I believe that a screenset comes down to personal choice and comfort, I've been using MSM for over a year and I find the workflow to be smooth, and that is important to me, from homing, loading...

Has any one tried MSM (Mach Standard Mill) Pro version screen set? I've been using it for the past several months and have found it to be a very powerful, and easy to use screen set. I Have tried...

Hi,

Thanks Gary, I checked the grub screws but not very good as I missed the grub screw on the X axis motor pulley. A small pain to get to, but it was lose and was causing my problem. All works well...

I have upgraded my Joe's 4x4 to a castcnc. My test run picture 182 came out good (far left), however, test runs today "pictures 183, 184" are not so good. I've checked over belt's and pulley's but I...
